® CH IRaEP LINGER ae 
RAMESES (UH. Sass 1929) ML. 38”. 
Another of the great Dykes Medal irises — a stalwart 
giant in tones of golden buff and rosy pink. This iris is a 
rampant grower, a single clump often displaying a score 
or more of open blooms at one time. 25c; 3 for 60c 
RED DOMINION (Ayres 1931) ML. 32”. 
A Dominion type bloom of lustrous wine-purple; very 
intense and velvety. A high class iris. 25c; 3 for 60c 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) M. 34”. 
New reds are being offered annually. Often they are as 
much alike as peas in a pod. Red Gleam is different and a 
definite progression toward a redder iris. Form like Red 
Dominion with the rich, fiery red of a seedling of Sass’s 
known as “Bonfire Red.” It is not tall but is a rich, very 
velvety red and a self, that is, standards and falls are about 
the same tone. $7.50 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) M. 38” 
Set of the fire of garnet marked with a brown beard, this 
jewel-like glowing red of ideally formed flowers, domed 
standards and flaring falls gives a most interesting sil- 
houette. Tall branched stems and very imposing. $7.50 
REGAL BEAUTY (Milliken 1939) ML. 38”. 
An iris in a favorite old color —rich glossy purple. 
Almost medieval blackish-purple falls with a gay light 
standard of clear light violet with the whole ensemble capped 
by a rich glowing yellow beard. The iris looks all the more 
luxuriant because of an added glow of brown that centers 
in the falls and center of the flower. $3.50 
ROSE DOMINION (Connell 1931) M. 38”, 
An iris of marked individuality with rounded “half- 
dollar” falls flaring almost to the horizontal. The rosy 
tone is augmented by a fine velvetiness of texture. 
25c; 3 for 60c 
ROSE TOP UH. Sass 1941) M. 34”. 
A flow of lacy frills and elaborate styling. The needle- 
pointing of novel rose markings on cream-yellow give this 
yellow ground plicata a merry personality and the casual 
ruffle seems to give the flowers a curtsying grace that is 
most endearing. Its novelty lies in the color of the mark- 
ings and the restraint and art with which they adorn the 
petals. $25.00 
ROSY WINGS (Gage 1936) M. 38”. 
A delightful fantasy of colors, rosy red vying with copper 
tones producing a pleasing iridescence. The general tone 
varies with one’s viewpoint and with the light, producing 
a most intriguing effect. 35c; 3 for 90c 
ROYAL COACH (UH. Sass 1939) M. 33”. 
Done in tones of brown and yellow this iris recalls the 
old, popular Jubilee. Good sized flowers, a bright yellow 
with brown and bronze markings. Provocatively trim with 
broad standards and semi-flaring falls. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ROYAL COMMAND (D. Hall 1939) M. 40”. 
A descendent of Legend inheriting that variety’s splendid 
branching with further refinement; 4 and 5 flowers open at 
same time. The color is rich velvety purple, very close to 
the tone of dark Dubonnet-red. Very pure in color, its 
lustre emits a vibrancy giving a most striking color effect in 
the garden. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
RUTH POLLOCK UH. Sass 1939) ML. 36”. 
This is unquestionably one of the finest yellow plicatas. 
Full, broadly-formed blooms held on well branched stems, 
ideal placement, form and size. The ground color is a clear 
tone of medium deep yellow with heavy, yet clearly etched 
rose markings on yellow. The falls have this rose tone 
definitely edged on the outer third of the petal. The mark- 
ings are concise throughout and the delicacy of the tracery 
is readily apparent. Full rich orange beard. Ruth Pollock 
has some of the tints of Tiffany though more delicate rose 
LRAT Ga. RoE Gs 
markings and a more yellow background. A combination 
of gay and unexpected colors, an enchanting flower. A 
$7.50 
SABLE (P. Cook 1938) M. 37”. 
Muted tones of deep claret-black. Flowers of good size 
and the tallest stem of the very dark varieties. Rich claret- 
black in contrast with the pansy-black tones of Ethiop 
Queen and Black Valor. Full rounded petals, rich and glossy 
with a velvety fall and inconspicuous beard. $3.00 
SAHARA (Pilkington 1936) M. 34”. 
A lovely, soft primrose yellow. The flower has surprising 
substance and is full petalled. The coloring, while not dark, 
is rich and creamy, like very rich yellow cream. The form 
is full and broad, color clear and non-spotting; one of the 
best liked by visitors in the medium yellow irises. A Dykes 
Medal Winner in England in 1935. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
SALAR (DeForest 1940) ML. 40”. 
Two blends rank high in our garden. They are Prairie 
Sunset and Salar. Each is a sensational iris and worthy of 
all the praise so lavishly bestowed on it. Salar is more 
delicately colored in comparison with the lucid beauty of 
Prairie Sunset. It is a lovely, pleasing combination of gleam- 
ing opalescent flesh and cream with a subtle glistening of 
salmon tints. The falls have a spread of rose shadings 
around the beard. In effect a slight bicolor. There is an 
indescribable charm about Salar, particularly its standards, 
that we cannot liken to any other iris unless it be to the 
luminous tones exemplified in Marquita’s standards. The 
flower is very large, the stalks tall, well branched. (Pictured 
on page 15.) $12.50 
SALUTATION (D. Hall 1938) E. 33”. 
A charmingly ruffled light yellow that blooms with the 
late intermediates. The earliest of the large flowered yel- 
lows. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SANDIA (Williamson 1934) EM. 38”. 
A sturdy medium pink, lightly blended, extra heavy sub- 
stance. Delicate shadings of the various tints make the 
flower most appealing. One of the most popular of its type. 
Stems are very well branched, flowers are good sized; very 
weather resistant, nicely rounded form.  30c; 3 for 75c 
SEDUCTION (Cayeux 1933) M. 38”. 
Daintiest of the plicatas, with an ivory-white ground 
faintly stitched and polka-dotted an exquisite lavender. 
Flowers are large and beautifully formed. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SETTING SUN (Kirkland 1937) M. 36”. 
One of Dr. Kirkland’s finest bright reds. A coppery red 
very much of a self. The blooms are long in form with 
pointed standards and hanging falls. Well branched and 
well substanced, a telling color in the garden. $1.00 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932) L. 38”. 
In our estimation it is one of the most nearly indispen- 
sable of all irises. In color it is certainly the most sensa- 
tional of all novelties. Named for that lavish emperor of 
India who ruled three centuries ago from the famous 
Peacock Throne, Shah Jehan is itself an extravaganza of 
color containing no less than seven distinctly different hues. 
The standards are a delicate creamy-buff faintly edged 
lavender; the falls are rich and magnificent, quickly blend- 
ing from a light fawn at the haft to a glowing copper, then 
to a rich deep chestnut. This in turn changes to a gorgeous 
tone of lustrous velvety purple —the dominant color of 
the falls. Imperceptibly this rich purple changes to a softer 
plum or magenta and this finally to a lavender edge which 
repeats the margining of the standards. The beard is of 
the richest orange. 25c; 3 for 60c 
SHEBA (Kirkland 1938) EM. 34”. 
One of Dr. Kirkland’s later developments. Those who 
like Junaluska will appreciate Sheba. More yellow blend- 
ing in rose toned standards with very rich bright red falls. 
A very pleasing combination. $3.50
